★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair

Nova Southeastern runs multiple PA campuses across Florida that share the same admissions requirements and core didactic content, but differ meaningfully in faculty, culture, campus size, city environment, service mission and clinical territory — so the program actively encourages applicants to attend an open house and evaluate fit rather than treat the campuses as interchangeable. Admissions is rolling, and representatives repeatedly made the point that applying early matters because of application volume. Clinical rotations are arranged by the program’s own clinical team rather than left to students to source, and students return to campus between rotations for skills work and board preparation. The traits it named as predicting success were grit, determination and interpersonal skill — not just academics.
